Not Diabetic
No unprotected or oral sex recently
Had some sense of incomplete urination and need to urinate frequently earlier on when I first had the issue but this has improved significantly over the past few weeks
Urimax was prescribed since doc suspected prostate was enlarged- ultrasound had ruled out that issue
Now on citralka and doc has asked for urine test with microscopic examination
Mainly have the tingling sensation now while passing urine and / or after- not very consistent but it is there most of the time.
